It’s #transdayofvisibility and I just wanted to make a post about it.
I’ve been out to the public for 3 years today and it only gets better and easier. People are understanding and more respectful (mostly).
But for those people who aren’t out, or can’t be out yet I want to be a voice for you. I want to show you that you’re not alone.
So I want to strive making queer and trans friendly comics for everyone to enjoy.
I’m the artist for “Dead City” which is written by my partner Michelle. It’s a zombie apocalypse story with more character development than zombies.
I also draw and write an autobio comic “Gender Slices” about my own experiences with gender all based off things that have really happened to me.
Hey, umm, I was wondering if you have a way for us to read all of gender slices in canonical order?
https://topazcomics.com is the main site, http://genderslices.tumblr.com and click on ‘first’, or it’s also on tapastic https://tapas.io/series/GenderSlices

It’s been fourteen years since my mum passed and I have a lot of feelings on the matter still.
This kind of counts as a special Gender Slices comic I suppose too. I just really needed to post this today.

I got quite a few asks and PMs about this comic I posted.
And I just want to say how much I appreciate all of your messages. I exactly put the comic out to look for ideas. The problem I am having with it is to actually go through with it.
I’m still thinking about it but I’m going at my own pace.
I do really like the name Jey though.

Hey! Do you also run the ‘Gender Slices’ Tumblr page? Asking just in case someone was reposting your comics as you! ^•^” if everything’s ok then sorry for wasting your time!
I do! The Gender Slices page also has all my info on the bottom where you can find links to my other social medias. Thanks for worrying though! I just wanted to make a comics tumblr so I could put them somewhere that’s more readable for my audience!
I did it. I just went for it and hit launch!
I made a Patreon everyone.
So what does that mean? It means if you want to tip me some money I can make better stuff! It means you can get high-res scans of sketchbook pages, comics, and my comic making process. It means you can see art before I post it. It means you can be entered in a raffle~ oh! That’s cool right?
Well check it out and see what’s up:

My mom was really disappointed when I changed my name, but it’s been two years and she doesn’t mind anymore. Sorry if this isn’t helpful.
Thank you for sending this though! I’ve got a bit of a different situation as my mum passed away when I was a kid, so it’s so hard to know.
